Doing a little club racing with my Tanzer 7.5, and just wanted to share the results of racing this far. You can check it out on the club web site www.lryc.ca...
Well done Frank! I remember the Lehave river as being a tricky one to sail and my first introduction to tides!! Back in the early '80's, I taught sailing at a...

Ralph is being far too modest!! Points of clarification: 1. Nick and Don are former Montreal Area, Quebec Provincial, Canadian and North American Tanzer 22...
Hi, I've just acquired my first boat, a 1982 Tanzer 26 and I want to install one of those solar vents. I had planned to install it a couple of feet aft of the...
"King Ralph" had the highly competitive Doug Perkins, owner of T22 Adagio on board Tuesday for his best race this year. Then, yesterday, I imported a "Rock...
... Installing the vent through the deck may give you a good opportunity to deal with the spongy deck at the same time. A 4" access hole in the deck will allow...
Link worked fine for me, when I grow up I'm gonna have me a T28!! Bob Laverty and a slightly P.O'd T22#603 "Celeste"! ... From: "Jere Lull" <jerelull@...>...

I've been looking for a asym spinnaker for Celeste (hopefully to get me back into her good graces after that remark about a T28) Found a new one with an atn...

... What you see flexing is the outer skin. That's not horrible as there are two other layups of glass and the core. Drying it out and "gluing" it back down...
Interesting read about sailing in the winds. We had our Canada day race yesterday, and I was crewing on a sister T26 and we were flying with storm jib and...
Please forgive my rambling account of my adventures in stripping the bottom paint off my T26 but I need advice. It has been a bigger job than anticipated. One...
Hi Richard, Don't give up now you have got the job about 80% finished. Hire a couple of high school kids to give you a hand or get the boat yard to finish her...
Hi Richard, The grinder should make very quick work of the surface stuff over your keel. It will be a lot quicker than it took for the hull with strippers....
... You could likely have reef point(s) added if the sail is in better shape than what you had. On our 23 footer, I had one row of reef points added, 2 batten...
... Mine's in the hatch and I'd suggest not there. The section you describe, aft of the mast is one of the areas on mine that appears to have no core (looking...
... Do you know what failed? And if it was a stay, were they originals? Kent "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds...
I have a self furling jib, and the metal guide rod for the sheet has come out of place. Does anyone have a schematic of how it should be installed? I think I...
This turned out to be a precient thread for me. Friday morning, 0825, 2 hours into a planned two week solo trip... running downwind in ~18 kts with the main...
I think I will settle for a reefed sail for now until I decide to buy a new sail. Living in Kitimat entails shipping to and from Vancouver plus any repairs if...
Hello, you can get the schematic for the Tanzer 7.5m, which has the same self-tracking jib at www.bora-bora.net. Look for the owner's manual at the bottom of...

The boom will have an end cap, the gooseneck fitting bolts to the end cap. Take the whole boom or just the end cap to Protech or whoever else has gooseneck...
Hey Michael I don't have a cunningham on my new sail. ProTech is going to weld up a similar-to-original fitting but based on wider aluminum track. Hopefully, ...
I find the most a T-22 with a crew of two likes is a #1 to about 20-21 knots apparent wind, then reef or put on a #2. I have a slightly larger #2 (A plastic...
I built myself a rudder this spring based on Dave Hebden's plans. It is now so easy to get the boat balanced so I don't have to stay on the tiller (I was...
I finally got the blocking and length right after two years of playing with things, and wow... what a difference. I had the boat out with a #2 (1.5?) and full...
I have a slight flutter too but only at certain speeds and headings. I expect it is turbulance from the keel. I had it last year before I redid my keel this...
